The Dagger Revealed

It's good to be ambitious.

Although Gu Heng was sleeping all the time, he had to do so. If he had been able to struggle a few years earlier, he would have started long ago. But unfortunately, struggle also has a threshold and a starting line.

He knew that he definitely started late. Others had already shown their talent for cultivation at a very young age. Even if they did not join any sect, they would have already started to learn some unconventional methods and at least knew what "cultivation" meant.

But he has been reborn here for nearly twenty-one years, and he is just starting out now. According to what practitioners say, he has an "extremely low upper limit."

Now Gu Heng can only trust the system unconditionally.

Anyway, the experience bar is there, and it is up to him to fill it up.

But apart from that, Gu Heng knew that he still had some good things given by the system, and he had to make full use of them, otherwise he would become stronger in the future and then they would be useless.

For example, the "temporary experience voucher" was basically equivalent to waste paper after he was able to practice, because he would be able to practice to the strongest in Xuantian Realm sooner or later. However, judging from the tattered ancient book he had read, this big world was far from being that simple.

There are other worlds outside the Xuantian Realm.

Being the strongest in Xuantian Realm is actually not enough.

So, use it now while you can, and use it in the right place.

For example, help Qin Yiyao and train her to become the most powerful emperor!

Anyway, the little girl also has this ambition, and she is also the person closest to him. Besides her, there are only cats Su Jinxi and Xiaobai. Su Jinxi and Xiaobai probably don't need his help at the moment, so there is only Qin Yiyao.

"Well... Master is not wrong."

Qin Yiyao stuck out her tongue.

She had originally planned to wait a few more years. She didn't lack that time anyway, and it would be best if she could stay with her master for a while longer.

But unexpectedly, it seems that Master wants to strike while the iron is hot?

"How could I not know what you are thinking?" Gu Heng couldn't help but reach out and poke her forehead. "Since you want to be the empress, the sooner the better, so that you don't have to think about playing all the time."

"I'm not too playful, am I?"

Qin Yiyao muttered softly, but Gu Heng was very serious. As a disciple, she could not kiss her master's mouth.

"Hmm?" Gu Heng glanced at her.

"Hehe! Master, you are right. The sooner the better!" Qin Yiyao immediately obeyed.

"Humph, just pretend."

Gu Heng snorted lightly. This girl didn't seem to be very ambitious. Although she seemed to practice sword skills very seriously every day, how could an empress only know how to practice sword skills?

Not to mention that her sword skills seem a bit half-baked.

"Oh, I almost forgot, I'll give you some jewelry."

Gu Heng took out a silver jade necklace, a bracelet, and two earrings from the system backpack. These were all taken from the ancient secret palace. He was slow to say it. He didn't give her any nice jewelry even though there was a girl living with him in the house. Although Qin Yiyao was too lazy to put on makeup, Gu Heng was more inclined to think that she didn't know how to dress herself up.

"Well, thank you for your kindness, Master, but can you help me put it on?"

Qin Yiyao came forward with a smile.

"You...alright, alright, wear it if you want. It's your teacher's fault for loving you."

Gu Heng shook his head. Qin Yiyao liked to act coquettishly and act pitiful, but unfortunately, he fell for it.

He always had a feeling that he had been controlled by the little girl.

But this apprentice is worth it.

Because Qin Yiyao did add some color to her seemingly pitiful and miserable life of living alone.After putting the necklace, bracelet and earrings on Qin Yiyao, Gu Heng held Qin Yiyao's face and looked at her carefully again: "Well, it looks good."

"You always say that, 'It looks good'... I'm tired of hearing it."

She pouted.

"What should I do? Do you really want me to say that you are ugly? You are the most beautiful woman I have ever seen, and you haven't grown up yet. You will definitely be more beautiful than them in the future."

"When you grow up, I will use other words to describe you."

Gu Heng touched her head.

This is the action he most often uses to make the little girl happy.

Of course, Qin Yiyao liked him touching her like this, but she definitely didn't like the way Gu Heng looked at her.

She knew that Gu Heng still regarded her as a young girl, but Qin Yiyao had estimated herself that she was definitely not young or immature, and she was not even short. She had long legs, a thin waist, and was very tall.

Although compared to Gu Heng, she was still half a head shorter.

"Then Master, do you still remember that you said before that you would fulfill a request of mine?"

Qin Yiyao suddenly came closer.

Gu Heng was almost scared. They were originally sitting very close to each other, less than an inch apart, but now their noses were almost touching, and a light warm breath hit his lips.

Her long and thick eyelashes fluttered like butterfly wings, and her slightly red cherry lips seemed to be inviting him.

Gu Heng was stunned for a moment, then nodded: "Remember."

"Well, now I have a request."

"What?"

"I'm going to sleep with you at night from now on."

Qin Yiyao didn't know if her true colors were revealed, but who made Gu Heng always think she was still young?

snort!!!

See how your aunt plays with you.

"You've been sleeping by yourself for so long, why do you suddenly want to..."

"I'm not grown up yet, I'm afraid of the dark~"

"You haven't grown up? I think you look like—"

"I said you haven't grown up yet, and that means you haven't grown up yet." Qin Yiyao suddenly pounced on him, hugged his thin waist tightly, and said delicately, "Or is Master planning to cheat?"

Gu Heng: "…"

He sighed and raised his hand to ruffle her soft hair.

"Okay, okay, whatever you say."

Qin Yiyao smiled immediately when she heard that, hugged his neck and gave him a kiss on the face.

Gu Heng was stunned for a moment, then started laughing.

He actually really liked the little girl acting coquettishly in his arms.

But Gu Heng did not see the deep brilliance hidden in Qin Yiyao's eyes.

It's filled with the pride of "You are in my palm".
